Sestak Trails Toomey in the Money Race, Too

In the race for the Senate seat from Pennsylvania, Democrat Joe Sestak is trailing GOP candidate Pat Toomey in both the polls and the money contest.

Sestak today reported raising $3.2 million in the third quarter, which ended Sept. 30. But hours later, Toomey, reported a $3.8 million haul, keeping his record of outraising Sestak in every quarter this election cycle.

Sestak, a former three-star admiral and a current Pennsylvania congressman, hasn’t led in an opinion poll since May, and in an effort to try to boost his campaign, President Barack Obama will make an in-state appearance with Sestak on Sunday.

The latest Rasmussen Reports survey of likely voters had Toomey, a former congressman and former president of limited-government Club for Growth, up by nine percentage points.

Neither camp released cash-on-hand numbers going into the final four week sprint to Election Day. But at the end of June, Sestak had about $2.1 million on hand while Toomey had just under $4.7 million.
